Diego Romero portrays his wife, Cara Romero, as Wonder Woman in this print, fusing pop culture with traditional Cochiti artistic motifs. Drawing inspiration from classical Mimbres pottery and comic books, he merges the historic and contemporary to tell personal and cultural stories. This work celebrates his wife’s strength and resilience, and aims to ensure that the narratives of his people resonate with contemporary audiences and future generations.
